Nick Milestone on the Evolution of Mass Timber

Bradley Hartmann and Nick Milestone discuss Nick’s transition from steel to mass timber construction and an openness to exploring new avenues in construction.

In episode 381 of The Construction Leadership Podcast, Bradley is joined by Nick Milestone, MMT’s director of project execution. They discuss Nick’s transition from steel to mass timber construction, which was driven by the desire to build on his grandfather’s legacy, and an openness to exploring new avenues in construction.

Nick also identifies key disruptions in the construction industry, including the shift towards prefabricated components, the emergence of BIM (Building Information Modeling), and the growing adoption of offsite construction methods.
